Shattered

An orphan seeking for life to come together

SHATTERED

ShatteredI am the face of an orphanAs you can see, my world has been shatteredMy dreams are broken; in fact I don’t know what dreams areMy fears keep me closed inside all the time so I cannot see the starsI know you see pictures of me and feel pity and sadnessYet I need moreI need you to come and begin mending the pieces together againI need you to free me so I can run with my friendsI need Love to show up in my life and begin putting it all back together for meI need to be free. I need to be free.I need someone who cares enough for meThat they will release me into my destinyAnd in the process find their own.

When are you coming? Every day I growWhen are you coming so Love I will know?Look here through the glass, look into my eyesSee the greater the sacrifice, then the greater the prizeCome and release me into my destinyWhen you do you find your own by setting Love free

The Eyes

These are the eyes of a real 4-year-old girl and 5-year-old boyWho are orphans.Look deeply and look hard.It doesn’t take long to feel the hurt and the loneliness, does it?So what are we going to do with that?Are we just going to cross to the other side of the road and make just one more excuse?Or are we going to be the neighbor Jesus asked us to be?What are we going to do with these eyes?Oh the time and the love and the time and the love it will take to put the life back in them,But isn’t it worth it? Just to see those eyes light up with life, isn’t it worth it?Look deeply and look hard, and feel the loneliness and the hurt, butDon’t forget to dream with GodDon’t forget to dream about how love restores all thingsIncluding the things we humans can’t replace
